I hope you can get caught up on sleep this weekend, and do a few stress releasing things for you. :bighug:

Did you give onsdansetron? You really do have to get ahead of nausea, giving it 3 times a day to block the nausea receptors.

Cross-posting. I didn't give ondansetron yet. But see what I just posted...
 
As I'm typing this I can hear Eddie eating from his oval bowl. I mix up a blend of textures. Texture is key and I am convinced he is not experiencing nausea as much as mouth/dental pain. He is interested in food but has to have the bowl either held or raised up for him so he doesn't have to bend down.

I wish we could go for the dentail sooner than July. At least the buprenorphine seems to be helping him. Right now I'm giving him 0.2ml every 8-10 hours. He is more active and, again, I'm thrilled to see him playing with the "birdie" on the stick. Before all his health issues began in 2020 he was such an active and friendly kitty. It's heartwarming to see him regain a little of that. It makes me feel that I would do anything for him.
 
We had fresh snow on the local mountains. The drive down to the cardio and dental vets is not yet safe.

I'm so happy to hear the bupe is helping him so much! I got a vial of bupe compounded, chicken flavour, that lasted about 3 months. Neko preferred the chicken soup flavour to the roasted chicken one. :rolleyes: Way cheaper than getting the syringes from the vet.

Even worse than the Coquihalla is the Connector. Even when the Coq is clear the Connector can be treacherous. At least I've got the July appointment for Eddie booked so, we'll take it slow, with the help of bupe. What an amazing difference.

I've called the vet to ask for a prescription, which I can get compounded. I have a number of syringes because they included them when Eddie was discharged on one of his recent clinic stays but I just went back to the Gabapentin we had. Given what happening with the bupe, it's like Gabapentin is to bupe like an aspirin might be to morphine. Eddie is so much happier and it gives me great relief.

This Wedesday I take Max in for his surgery. That's going to be quite the day.
